Web App & Windows App

Turn exported chats into clear, searchable conversations.

ChatXport opens WhatsApp ZIP exports in a clean viewer with search, filters, bookmarks, and professional exports. Open a chat in your browser right now, or install the Windows app. Either way, everything runs on your device — nothing uploaded.

How it works

Open your chats in seconds

Three steps from your phone to a clean, searchable workspace.

1

Export from WhatsApp

Open any chat, tap the menu, select More → Export chat, choose Include media, and save the ZIP file.

2

Open in ChatXport

Drop the ZIP into app.chatxport.com on any phone or computer, or into the Windows app. Select your name so your messages appear on the right — just like your phone.

3

Search, filter & export

Browse messages, filter by sender or date, bookmark what matters, and export to PDF or XLS in one click.

The problem

WhatsApp exports were never meant to be read

Thousands of messages, unnamed media files, no search. Here is how most people deal with it — and why ChatXport exists.

Three ways to view your chats

Switch between views depending on what you need.

Conversation View

The familiar WhatsApp-style chat interface. Your messages on the right, others on the left.

Table View

Spreadsheet-style view with sortable columns. Perfect for analysing patterns or preparing data for export.

Timeline View

Chronological feed grouped by date. Great for reviewing conversations over time or finding messages from specific days.

Real chats, real moments

ChatXport helps you revisit, search, and preserve exported chats — whether sentimental, transactional, or everything in between.

  • All photos and voice notes inline with the messages
  • Search any name, date, or word in seconds
  • Bookmark the moments worth keeping
  • Save it all as a PDF that won't disappear

Why on-device matters

Your chats never leave your device

Some WhatsApp viewers ask you to upload private conversations to their servers — your messages, photos, and files on someone else's computer. ChatXport is different: the web app processes everything locally in your browser, and the Windows app runs fully offline.

ChatXport

  • Runs 100% on your device
  • No uploads, ever
  • Windows app works without internet
  • No account or login needed

Server-Upload Tools

  • Require file upload
  • Your data on their servers
  • Unknown data retention
  • Always require internet

Frequently asked questions

Web app or Windows app — which one do I need?

The web app opens a chat right now on any device with nothing to install; the full unlock is a one-time $9. The Windows app is for people who come back to their exports again and again: it runs fully offline and adds bookmarks, notes, workspaces, and cross-chat search (Personal $29, Pro $69).

Does ChatXport upload my chats anywhere?

No. The web app processes your chat file locally in your browser; it is not uploaded to ChatXport or anyone else. The Windows app runs entirely on your PC and even works in airplane mode once loaded.

What chat formats are supported?

WhatsApp ZIP exports from both Android and iOS, including attached media files, and plain chat .txt files.

Is this a subscription?

No. The web unlock ($9) and the desktop licenses ($29 Personal, $69 Pro) are all one-time payments. Desktop licenses never expire; optional priority support renewal is $20/year after the first year, but the software works fully without it.

How does the desktop license key work?

Purchase at store.chatxport.com and receive your key instantly. Enter it in the Windows app; verification happens offline via SHA-256, no internet required to activate. One license covers up to 3 machines.

Is there a Mac version?

Use the web app — it runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, and phones. The desktop app is Windows 10 and 11 only.

What is your refund policy?

14-day full refund on all paid plans, web unlock included. Contact hello@chatxport.com and we process it immediately, no questions asked.

Is ChatXport affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta?

No. ChatXport is an independent product built by The Baobab Collective Ltd. and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc. It reads files exported by users via WhatsApp's official Export Chat feature and does not connect to WhatsApp's servers.
